Penicillium echinulatum 2HH is an ascomycete well known for its production of cellulolytic
enzymes. Understanding lignocellulolytic and sugar uptake systems is essential to obtain …

The enzymatic conversion of lignocellulosic biomass to bioethanol depends on efficient
enzyme systems with β-glucosidase as one of the key components. In this study, we …

Cellulase production by fungi is tightly regulated in response to environmental cues, and
understanding this mechanism is a key pre-requisite in the efforts to improve cellulase …

Many Penicillium species could produce extracellular enzyme systems with good
lignocellulose hydrolysis performance. However, these species and their enzyme systems …

Background Penicillium funiculosum NCIM1228 is a filamentous fungus that was identified
in our laboratory to have high cellulolytic activity. Analysis of its secretome suggested that it …

Background The enzymatic degradation of lignocellulosic materials by fungal enzyme
systems has been extensively studied due to its effectiveness in the liberation of fermentable …

The efficient breakdown of lignocellulose requires the concerted activity of multiple
enzymes. Previous studies on Penicillium janthinellum NCIM 1366 (PJ-1366) have revealed …

Abstract Background GH7 cellobiohydrolases (CBH1) are vital for the breakdown of
cellulose. We had previously observed the enzyme as the most dominant protein in the …

Cellulases from fungi typically contain one catalytic domain with or without a cellulose-
binding domain. We characterized an endo-acting cellulase PdCel5C from industrial …

Aims: Penicillium echinulatum is effective for bioconversion processes. However, nothing is
known about the molecular biology of its cellulolytic system. We describe for the first time the …
